After making my last post I wondered, 'When is trading with the enemy NOT trading with the enemy?' When you want something they have. Could this be why we haven't or WON'T declare war on some of these nations? Because then if we bought their oil we'd be technically trading with the enemy? Granted only 'some' of the people from these nations have declared war on the US, but what does that tell you when the host nation doesn't DO anything about these 'people'?? That they quietly sanction the idea?
